A Prayer of Thanks on Christmas Eve for Christ Our Savior
Wonderful Savior, thank you for incarnating on earth to save the world. Through your redemptive earthly life that began on Christmas Eve and finished on the cross, you have made it possible for me – and all of humanity – to connect with God for eternity. As 2 Corinthians 9:15 declares, “Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!”
I would still be lost in sin without my relationship with you. Thanks to you, I’m free – free to live with faith rather than fear. I’m grateful beyond words for all you’ve done to save my soul from death and give me eternal life, Jesus. Thank you for loving me, forgiving me, and guiding me.
This Christmas Eve, I’m celebrating the good news of your birth as I remember the angels announcing it to the shepherds. I’m pondering your incarnation and treasuring it, as your earthly mother Mary did. I’m seeking you and worshiping you like the wise men did. I give you thanks for your saving love, tonight and always.
